The first hurricane of the season is called Alex. It is classified as
Category 1 and its winds record 120 km / h. Not very powerful, but it
has something more sinister that previous hurricanes had not: the oil spill from
the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico and it is precisely in this
region that this hurricane is expected to strike.

At this moment in time the storm covers one third of
the western Gulf. The hurricane's eye right now is 145 miles east of La
Pesca, and 190 miles southeast of Brownsville, Texas, USA. It moves to
the northwest at 10 km/h.

There are hurricane warnings in some areas
(between La Cruz, Mexico, and northern Baffin Bay, Texas, USA) and
Tropical Storm warnings between Baffin Bay South and Port O'Connor,
Texas, and between La Cruz and Cabo Rojo. The storm is expected to hit
land during the night of Wednesday or Thursday morning. Then we shall
see what an ecological disaster is.
